It's a short speech with art occupying half of the pages. It took me longer to pick up the book and check out the book than to actually read the book. (  ) wellington299 | Feb 19, 2022 | It takes fifteen minutes to read, and a lifetime to feel like you're getting it right. That's how the most pithy and powerful wisdom works: easy to absorb, challenging to enact. I am grateful for the reminder from one of my new favorite writers. It's the perfect book to buy for someone else...or buy for oneself and then pass it along, hoping it goes through many hands and pierces many hearts on its journey. ( ) TommyHousworth | Feb 5, 2022 | This is quite short, so I won't really give it away, it seems to be a graduation speech for a college in New York. It's worth a read, there's a little life philosophy and a nice overall message. (  ) Pepperwings | Dec 7, 2021 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
